Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a passive infrared detector with a heat-sensitive sensor and a mirror for bundling the falling from the interstitial space on the detector heat radiation to the sensor, wherein the mirror of reflectors existing reflector rows for monitoring areas with different location in the interstitial space and for a distinction between Man and animal is formed on the basis of the amplitude of the sensor signal.
  • Passive infrared detectors of this type are mainly used in the private sector and meet a market need there, because they largely suppress an alarm triggered by pets.
  • the latter is commonly referred to as "pet immunity”.
  • This can be achieved, in particular, with special optics which, together with the heat-sensitive sensor, prefer vertical objects, ie upright people, to horizontal objects, that is to say, pets running or crawling on the ground.
  • detector families consisting of a plurality of detectors for different applications are preferably offered today, which preferably all use the same optics, the optics here meaning the mirror or possibly a Fresnel lens arrangement. See, for example, EP-A-1 089 245.
  • a passive infrared detector of the type mentioned with pet immunity should be specified, which can be made awakecreechicher with little effort.
  • an attachable to the mirror and selected reflectors or at least one reflector row covering additional part which has on its side facing the sensor an imaging optics with a different characteristic than the covered reflectors.
  • a first preferred embodiment of the detector according to the invention is characterized in that said additional part is formed by a plastic part in the manner of a clip.
  • the plastic part of dark-colored acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene polymer (ABS).
  • a second preferred embodiment of the detector according to the invention is characterized in that the additional part is designed as an elastic clamping element.
  • a third preferred embodiment of the detector according to the invention in which the reflectors of at least one row of reflectors consist of a number of subelements, so that the monitoring areas of these at least one row of reflectors are vertically split into sub-zones of slightly different elevation stacked in a stack, is characterized in that said Additional part for the cover of the at least one row of reflectors is provided and has on its side facing the sensor depending on a single, continuously curved surface existing reflectors.
  • the additional part can have on its side facing the sensor a refractive-optical relief structure on which the incident radiation experiences an additional refraction.
  • a fourth preferred embodiment is characterized in that the mirror and the additional part in shape and size are coordinated so that the additional part on the mirror can be fastened only in such a position that it completely covers the desired reflectors or the desired at least one row of reflectors ,
  • the erfindungsmässe detector has the advantage that it can be easily and inexpensively adapted to different applications by the additional part, in particular can be made hypocritical.
  • the latter is achieved by covering reflector rows of the mirror for certain zones, for example the reflector row for the near zone and / or middle zone, with the additional part, whereby the PET immunity is omitted for these zones, but the detector also crawls on the floor, cowering or lying on a skateboard people appeals.
  • the elimination of PET immunity is not serious, because in high-security rooms usually no pets are kept.
  • the trained as an elastic clamping element attachment can be plugged with a simple handle on the mirror. You can attach the additional part of the detector as an accessory, so that a possible adaptation of the detector can even be made by the customer.
  • the invention further relates to an additional part for the optics of a passive infrared detector, which has a heat-sensitive sensor and a mirror for bundling the falling from the interstitial space on the detector heat radiation to the sensor.
  • This additional part is characterized in that it is placed on the mirror and this at least partially covers in the attached state, and at its the sensor facing side has an imaging optics with a different characteristic than the covered surface of the mirror.
  • the refractive-political relief structure is formed by strips with wedge-shaped cross-section.
  • the additional part is preferably made of polyethylene.
  • a preferred embodiment of the inventive additional part for a passive infrared detector with a mirror which has a first reflector row for a remote zone, a second row of reflectors for a central zone, a third row of reflectors for a near zone and a fourth row of reflectors for a look-down zone whose Reflectors are split into faces, is characterized in that the additional part for the cover of the reflector row for the middle zone and / or the reflector row for the near zone and / or the reflector row is provided for the look-down zone.
  • the mirror assembly 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2 is a further development of the mirror described in EP-A-0 303 913, by which this mirror is improved so that it is immune to domestic animals in its effective range.
  • the mirror arrangement 1 consists of a number of reflectors which are designed such that the space to be monitored is fan-shaped with monitoring areas originating from the detector is covered, are provided according to different distances from the detector several "such fan areas" or surveillance zones.
  • a distinction is made, for example, four monitoring zones, a remote zone, a central zone, a near zone and a so-called look-down zone, which are covered by four rows of reflectors offset in the vertical direction.
  • These rows are in the mirror assembly 1 the row R 1 for the remote zone, the row R 2 for the middle zone, the row R 3 for the near zone and the row R 4 for the look-down zone, the latter row only a single reflector having.
  • the fan-shaped coverage is achieved by mutually displacing the reflectors of each row in the horizontal direction, and to achieve an approximately uniform coverage pattern, the number of reflectors per row increases with the distance of the respective surveillance zone from the detector.
  • Each reflector "looks" into a certain solid angle of a certain zone, receives the heat radiation incident from this solid angle, and focuses it onto a heat-sensitive sensor S (FIG. 2), which is formed, for example, by a pyrosensor.
  • the pyrosensor is preferably a so-called standard dual-pyrosensor, as used for example in the passive infrared detectors of Siemens Building Technologies AG, formerly Cerberus AG (see also EP-A-0 303 913).
  • the sensor detects the heat radiation emitted by this object, whereupon the detector emits an alarm signal. This alarm signal indicates that an object, such as an intruder, is in the interstitial space.
  • the reflector row R 1 for the remote zone consists of seven paraboloidal strip-like reflectors 2 to 8, the reflector row R 2 for the central zone of five reflectors 9 to 13, the reflector row R 3 for the near zone of three reflectors 14 to 16 and the reflector row R. 4 for the near zone from a single reflector 17.
  • This arrangement is identical to that described in EP-A-0 303 913.
  • the individual reflectors do not consist of a single, continuously curved surface, but each have a plurality of partial surfaces of different vertical orientation, whereby the associated monitoring areas are correspondingly split into subzones.
  • the transitions between the faces are indicated in Figs. 1 and 2 by dashed horizontal lines or curves.
  • the reflectors 2 to 8 for the remote zone and the reflectors 9 to 13 for the central zone consist of three, the reflectors 14 to 16 for the near zone each of four and the reflector 17 for the look and feel. down zone of five partial surfaces.
  • the individual faces are so weighted, i. their optical aperture and their surface are chosen so that a dog of a certain size (for example haired dog, 80 cm long and 60 cm high) moving transversely to the overlapping pattern produces a signal which is approximately the same size for every distance from the dog to the detector ,
  • EP-A-1 089 245 for a detailed description of the overlay pattern of the reflectors of the mirror assembly 1, reference is made to EP-A-1 089 245, to the disclosure of which reference is hereby expressly made.
  • EP-A-1 089 245 discloses that practical tests have shown that, within an effective range of 12 to 13 m, the sensor signal triggered by a dog of about 30 kg body weight is at most 50% of the detection threshold, so that This dog certainly can not trigger a false alarm.
  • PET immunity is essentially achieved by the fact that a dog or, in general, a domestic animal crosses fewer subzones than a human due to its lower height.
  • the height, ie the extent in the vertical direction, of the object moving in the interstitial space is the essential criterion, whereas its extent is horizontal Direction is not so essential.
  • this may result in a person creeping or crouching on the ground, or lying on a skateboard, and moving in this way, possibly crossing fewer sub-zones than walking upright and thus not being detected.
  • a detector with PET immunity and creep safety in the critical center zone is provided by the additional part Z shown in FIG.
  • the additional part Z is provided for the cover of the reflector row R 2 for the central zone and generally has on its side facing the S an imaging optics with the desired characteristics.
  • the imaging optics having the desired characteristic are formed in that each focusing element of the reflector row R 2 is formed by a single, continuously curved reflector surface 9 ', 10', 11 ', 12' 13 'is formed, which has a constant elevation.
  • the additional part Z consists of black-colored acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene polymer (ABS), which is the material used for the support layer of the mirror 1. See also EP-A-0 707 294.
  • ABS black-colored acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene polymer
  • the additional part consists of a material permeable to infrared radiation such as polyethylene and has a type of Fresnel structure on its side facing the sensor S (FIG. 2).
  • This is to be understood as a refractive optical relief structure at which the incident radiation undergoes an additional refraction.
  • the Fresnel structure consists of strips of wedge-shaped cross section; the radiation passing through these strips is refracted as it enters and exits the strip, resulting in a change in the angle of incidence of the infrared radiation on the additional part Z.
  • This effect can be used to cancel the splitting of the focusing elements of the row of reflectors or rows of reflectors into sub-elements or to deliberately move the monitoring areas of a row of reflectors.
  • the angle of incidence of the infrared radiation impinging on the look-down zone can be made steeper and thus the surveillance area of the look-down zone lay directly under the detector. Because by the fact that twice the refraction of the angle of incidence of the incident on the detector infrared radiation steepens, the monitoring range of the look-down zone R 4 moves closer to the detector.
